What is Realm?

Is online giving safe & secure?

All online transactions are conducted using an encrypted connection, through ACS Technologies (Realm) (who has been providing financial (and other) services for St Barnabas for many years), and Vanco, a PCI Level 1 Compliant Service Provider. Sensitive financial information (such as account and credit card numbers) do not pass through, and are not stored on, church premise computers; neither does church staff have access to this information. While "perfect security" does not exist, we have researched the details, methods and reputations of the organizations and partners involved in providing online giving, and believe that it is a robust and secure system.

Can I make a single, one-time gift?

Yes. After you initiate the online gift process, you will be offered the choice to make a one-time gift, or make it a recurring gift.

Can a visitor make an online gift?
